Easy to use: The cord will not fade or fray, you can easily replace the cord in your cellular shades or blinds. The alternative cordage will do the job if your louvers are drooping or dragging on one side.

Good quality: The braid lift cord will not ravel or brake it is very durable. It resists deterioration in sunlight and its braided construction reduces friction allowing for long lasting performance.

Versatile cord Made from nylon, can repair roman shades, aluminum blind, this lift cord can also be applied to ceiling fans or light strings. The nylon cord are suitable for gardening plant, outdoor gear making, crafting, and beading.

How to use: You can cut the appropriate length cord for restring, hang some weights off the cords at least overnight to reduce the likelihood that the cord develop a twist in the blinds mechanism, providing smooth operation of the pull and release.

The Hunter-Douglas “Duette” shades in our guest bedroom take quite a beating — this is the second time I’ve repaired them, while the remaining shades in my house are still on their original set.

The H-D Duettes specify a 0.9mm cord, but I thought I’d take my chances with this 1.0 mm version as it was a bit cheaper (and hopefully more durable) than the 0.9 mm offerings on Amazon. Turns out it works like a charm (although you’ll notice the difference visually if you don’t replace both the top and bottom rail cords, which I did not). Flows through the guides just fine, and I’m hopeful this repair will last longer than the last one. Either way, there is PLENTY of cord remaining to conduct repairs.

FYI, I was able to reuse the cord ends and tassles, and you can use some skinny wire to thread the cord through the blinds instead of springing for a repair kit. Check out some YouTube videos to see how to proceed, but leave yourself plenty of extra cord length until you get your blinds hung up — if you short yourself you’ll have to repeat the rapair process ;o)

I used this cord to replace the broken cord on a cellular shade. The old broken cord was over ten years old. This new cord worked for about a month and then it began to fray. Eventually the outer covering of the cord separated and slid right off of the core (like a sleeve). Poor quality IMO.
